The destruction of the Eighth Quvishti destroyed thousands of families. Since Zha did not want to mention this ancient sad past, Yona and Asai naturally remained silent. The carriage came to the center of the suspension bridge and stopped slowly. Three suspension bridges intersect here. A white-black and half-white house is built in the air above the abyss. It keeps swaying with the strong wind blowing from the bottom of the canyon. "This is the official residence of the co-consul of Quvishti." It's not office hours yet. You can save a lot of time by crossing here." The driver said while hiding on the roof of the car.
"Being an official is also a dangerous job." The Oriental commented.
Compared with the wide and deep scars on the earth, the light carriage looked incomparably small. There were not many pedestrians and vehicles on the suspension bridge in the early morning. The wheels rolled over the bridge. It took ten minutes to reach the other side. Early in the morning. Right of Quvishti The steam machinery in the town began to buzz. The temperature increased by at least seven or eight degrees. After walking among the black buildings for a while, a magnificent basalt building appeared in front of us. From an aesthetic point of view, this building has a haunting appearance. The semi-mechanical building full of weird pipelines, attached to the metal shell and with countless rivets has no sense of beauty at all. But no one in the world dares to look down upon it. Because the top of the six-story building has a line carved on it. Word: Steam Puppet Warlock Association (Headquarters).
As the nearest large city to Ecbatana, the birthplace of steam puppet technology, Quvishti has become a gathering place for countless devout scholars since the opening of the volcanic country. Between Tochara and the Buddhist Vedda In the peaceful era of open borders, strangers from all over the continent carried heavy backpacks and crossed the border on foot. They set off from Quvishti to Ekbatana to seek the dream of hot steam. It is natural for the association to be here because it has natural active volcanic geothermal heat. The city with resources was established. The War City prospered because of the steam puppet warlocks. But the powerful warlocks failed to prevent the city from being destroyed in war after war. Among the five major guilds, the Steam Puppet Warlock Association was the only one with an ill-fated fate, and its headquarters suffered many attacks. One that was destroyed once. At the same time, it also had new vitality that other guilds lacked due to this repeated destruction and reconstruction.
Jonah stared blankly at the special-shaped building of the association's headquarters. His preconceptions were gradually changing. It is true that this building does not conform to traditional aesthetics. But if you look closely, it is clearly an extremely sophisticated machine: pipes that wrap around the building. It squirms and contracts like a snake. Fine lines expand and contract, elegantly transmitting energy; a huge dial is embedded on the top floor of the building. The hour hand, minute hand, second hand, and the heliostat and moon phase of the three suns tick and rotate. Transparent Behind the dial, countless precision gears fit together seamlessly and rotate smoothly under the drive of the pendulum; every metal plate on the stairs can be opened and rotated to form a shining mirror. It can be seen at any time. Reflecting sunlight onto the diffusion panels on the roof, providing sufficient lighting for the entire building; looking at the six chimneys spewing thick white mist, Jonah wondered if this strange building looked like a golem. .You can pick up your legs and walk around at any time.
"If I have time, I really want to visit it..." the astrologer sighed.
"You have to show your identity. I guarantee that they will treat you like an emperor. Baron Ekbatana." Asai said with a smile.
The carriage passed through the strange black city and turned around an alley. In front of it was an endless wasteland. The Easterner stretched out his hand and pointed forward: "There, Brother Yona, you can reach the Vedic capital Maharaja if you keep going east. I The end of this trip. I didn’t enter that city the last time I passed by. I don’t know what Brahma has done to me now.”
"Mahoraga..." The closer we get to this city, the more vivid the image of Jekong becomes in our heart. It is the place where the silent southern companions once fought. Jonah can't help but feel sorry for his old friends who are living in other places. He was thinking about it. He quietly held the egg-shaped communicator in his pocket. As the golden city of Bactria became more and more distant, the possibility of Prince Harimaya getting in touch with him became less and less. Last time During the intermittent communication, he actually heard the names of Rose Knight and Ryuki. He just didn't know where his friends were now.
Suddenly everything around him faded. The soul rose slowly in the darkness alone. This was a signal for the listener to convey instructions. Jonah has gradually become accustomed to this sight. He calmly waited for Rose Rose to give instructions.
"Please listen carefully. This is the third instruction I have received." The Archon of Sukasa Valley spoke without emotion: "All the Brotherhood's combat forces in the Southern Continent have come out. They have passed the checkpoint and arrived at the Barking Mountains. You have no time to stay in the Vedic territory. You must avoid this irresistible force of terror. In addition, although the Brotherhood has no branch organization in the Vedic territory, there must be spies and assassins. Your whereabouts have been caught by Kurigara. The undercover agent leaked. Accepting Kurikara's help is tantamount to being an enemy of Brahma. Behind you are the shadows of the Brotherhood. In front of you are the extreme forces of Veda. And around you, the sharp minions of assassins may appear at any time. Trust no one except the protector of the ghost. Listen to the hint: Go east to reach Maharaja. Join the main force of Kurikara. They are brewing a full-scale coup. Maharaja is the storm. The center is perhaps the only place that is temporarily peaceful. After arriving at Prince City, the next prompt will appear. Have you actually received this prompt?"
Maharaja, the capital of Veda, is named "Prince City" because of the Mausoleum of Prince Mora in the city. Jonah understands this. "I know, Miss Ross, but you said not to believe anyone, including Asai. He has been taking care of me. He definitely cannot be an enemy..." The astrologer couldn't help asking questions.
"Have you actually received this reminder?" As before, the listener repeated coldly.
"...I received it." Jonah could only reply.
This time Rose Rose didn't seem to be in the mood to talk much. The world gradually became brighter. Jonah returned to the carriage. "Are you asleep?" The Easterner glanced at him. "You seem to have had a dream. "
Jonah shook his head: "No. It's a new instruction. Our destination is Maharaja. Please tell Mr. Liche and the driver that we will go eastward to the Vedic capital."
The ordinary-looking man nodded slightly. A black line went up from his sleeve and climbed along the window to the roof of the car. A moment later, his second-generation clone appeared outside the window: "It has been conveyed. Sanshenzo said to drive at full speed. .We can arrive before midnight today."
"Great." Aya jumped excitedly. His head almost hit the roof. "This is fate. Brother Jona.
Thinking of Miss Ross's training. The astrological warlock has a little hesitation. But looking at the smiling face of the Oriental people. He can't have a little doubt anyway. "Yeah. Seya. I have to trouble you for a while."
Aya laughed with a 17 -year -old boy's shoulder: "Don't be polite, don't be polite. There is always fun to appear with you. Yes. This inverse scale has been recovered by blood. You. Anyway, my armor is enough to control '餮'. I don't need to use this dagger. "He took out the blood -colored dagger and handed it over.
His Holiness Gao Wuzhu suddenly raised his eyelids. The glory in his eyes flickered. The astrological warlock looked at the inverse scales at the end of the blood dagger. Nodded. Poster the dagger into the deer leather bag.
Two six -hoof Jianma runs at high speed. From the early morning until noon. The speed has not decreased. I took out a bag of snacks in a long time ago: "You see you. When you set off from Punjab, you would like to have this day. Hahaha."
At this time. Two horses were hissing. The speed of the car has dropped significantly. The second -generation avatar of Zha reports: "Star pickers see that there are large troops marching in this direction at a high altitude. We need to avoid it."
The carriage drove down the road. There was a distance bumpy in the wasteland. The endless Vedica grows the messy weeds. There is no appropriate cover. Lijie indicates that the three bodies stop the carriage. "
"Followed." The small man wearing a black tights walked in front of the car and waved his arm. The air was obviously distorted. The entire carriage disappeared out of thin air. The horses that were close at hand, the carriage and the figure were incorporated into the background of the blue sky and the grass. He tried to reach out and touch. The air in the air really had an invisible air wall.
The Oriental "slammed" with a slap: "Oh. This way you can go to the toilet anytime, anywhere. It's really convenient.
A few minutes later. The crowd of dark pressure appeared on the road. This is obviously a formal army in Vedic. The bald warrior in a yellow cloth and naked right shoulder is covered with dazzling beads and 璎. , Big hammer and sickle. The team is mixed with the giant elephant and camel with heavy phenomena. Two more majestic figures than giant elephants slowly move forward. Board ... That's the two devil Tan Naipo.
"Big battle. Are you really going to start a war?" Seyo said weakly.
"It's okay. You can't even pass the sound and smell behind my barrier." The star picker laughed.
Jona was looking at Tan Naipo in fear. He didn't notice a black hollow needle like a mosquito mouth. Automatically trembling. The hollow needle that flows out of the poisonous juice is only half an inch of the skin.
A thin finger appeared. "Puff". The poison needles gently pierced into the belly of the fingers. Jona looked back. Seeing the turbid eyes of Gao Wuzhe. Face.
